Because I am terrible at pitlording; didn't you realize that by now?
a) I forgot you had evasion, it's been a loooong fight
b) I always think Evasion is just for reflex saves vs AoE, not reflex or half.
will continue the fight

Ouch.
Well, I didn't realise Ven had used Resist Cold. I guess my odds were pretty slim, then (with Cold Energy Ray he wouldn't have gotten Evasion).
To be honest, pretty much everything that could have gone wrong, did. For some reason I didn't move far enough to prevent a Charge way back when, I use Force Screen and Biofeedback after they would have been useful, and Energy Retort did nothing for me. A 5PP Construct would have been far more effective.
Thanks anyway Eluria. That must have been pretty stressful (we're on what, week four now?).

I think it all technically finished in 3 weeks - with separate thread, 4 people involved, in retrospect doesn't seem like 3 weeks is that bad, and sep thread added a lot of intrigue. Very interesting fight; sorry for the errors along the way.
It was really pretty close, all the way around; any number of turning points. Bernik showing up, bow crit on Bernik, choice of energy attack, a few close misses, a few failed saves... super interesting fight!

Damn, Ven only had 7hp there at the end, too. Maybe a Cold Retort would have swung it. Still, I think I did far too many things wrong there. Teaming up on Bernik was also a tad harsh, but I hadn't expected him to be downed by a bow crit that early (and I was right in thinking that he was pretty much winning against Ven). If Bernik had gotten one more blow in, maybe I could have Mind Thrusted him to death, but he would only have had to have healed a little and it would have been just as over that way.
No, it was definately interesting and fun, and we should definately do it again sometime... but maybe not too soon. Four people is going to take a long time however it goes, I fancy.

Sometime after the fight ends, Bernik finds Amalia. "I told you not to get involved, girl. Maybe next time you'll listen. Or maybe next time I'll just know better than to trust you to do the smart thing."
Ever want to try your hand at optimizing, but don't like excessive splatbook use? Come visit the Core Coliseum today, and give it a try.

"Maybe next time you'll know better than to take on real gladiators," Amalia replies. She smiles. "I'll see you in the arena."
